“We extend our heartfelt thanks to every guest who voted for us and to all who have shared in our journey – and also honour our incredible Milaidhoo Family, the heart of everything we do. This award is a tribute to their unwavering dedication and commitment to genuine Maldivian hospitality. As proud pioneers of tourism in the Maldives, we remain deeply grounded in our heritage, staying true to the cultural roots that continue to shape our story,” said Paul von Frank, General Manager, Milaidhoo.

Located within the pristine Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Milaidhoo is more than a luxury private island. It’s a haven where time slows and nature sets the pace. Surrounded by turquoise waters, endless skies and lush tropical beauty, guests are invited to disconnect from the everyday and rediscover life’s simplest, most profound joys. For many, Milaidhoo is not just a place to stay but a soulful retreat rooted in authenticity and connection to the natural world.
